Chapter 1134 The Returnee's Notes 208
"puff--"
Deng Xiangu couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. She hadn't expected that her curse would actually fall on this evil spirit. No wonder Old Qi was unharmed.
Looking up and meeting Old Qi's bloodshot gaze, Deng Xiangu's eyes filled with panic; she finally knew fear.
From the moment we escaped the illusion created by the ghost until now, things have suddenly spiraled out of control; it all happened so suddenly.
"Old Qi, you can't kill me!" Deng Xiangu roared fiercely, but her mind cleared instantly under the threat of death.
"Old Qi, I don't want this dagger anymore. You know I just want the silver hairpin, and besides, even if you got this dagger, it wouldn't matter if I weren't there..."
It's useless.
Unfortunately, Deng Xiangu didn't have the chance to say those last two words.
Old Qi propped his forehead up; his mind was in complete disarray. He had just considered letting Deng Xiangu go, since the road ahead was difficult and one more person meant one more source of strength.
Of course, this is on the premise of maintaining a false peace, rather than tearing each other apart and being wary of one another.
Seeing the black shadow swallowing Deng Xiangu's head whole, Xu Chuan couldn't help but swallow hard. He knew Lao Qi's abilities, but this was the first time he had ever seen such an evil and monstrous sight.
That's incredible.
If Deng Xiangu hadn't been injured by the backlash, Lao Qi would definitely not have been her match. But there are no "ifs".
Xu Chuan turned and ran the moment Lao Qi killed Deng Xiangu. His strength was about the same as Lao Qi's, but that was before. Now, anyone with eyes could see that Lao Qi was much stronger than before.
It's clear that he was hiding his true abilities before.
Xu Chuan ran very fast, but unfortunately, the Ghost Shadow in Lao Qi's hand ran even faster and stopped Xu Chuan in an instant. As the two fought, the red light on the short blade became stronger and stronger.
If you look closely, you can see a thin red line-like thing between the dead one and the body of the deceased Deng Xiangu.
This short blade is sucking away at Deng Xiangu's life force.
In just a short while, the headless corpse shrank instantly.
Xu Chuan also died at Lao Qi's hands, but Lao Qi didn't fare any better. His body was covered with spiders and other Gu worms, and it was already turning blue and purple.
Old Qi sat cross-legged on the ground for a while to rest. After killing all the Gu worms, he moved to Xu Chuan's side, knowing that Xu Chuan must have the antidote on him.
Even without an antidote, he can cure the poison as long as he finds the mother Gu.
But after crawling back to the place from the narrow passage, Lao Qi's mind went blank again. It wasn't until he bit his tongue and felt the pain that he regained some clarity.
Glancing at the withered corpse on the ground, Lao Qi felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly took out a wooden box from his bag and controlled the ghost to take the short blade and put it into the box.
Once the lid was closed and a yellow talisman was affixed, the power that had been affecting people's minds and spirits disappeared.
But suddenly, two people were gone.
Old Qi couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little regretful. He shouldn't have come on a whim; this place was indeed very eerie.
But having come this far, he was unwilling to give up if he didn't continue.
Before encountering this short blade, the three of them worked together quite well, and ordinary ghosts could not easily get close to them.
But this short blade is too evil; it can affect people's minds, and that is the real culprit that caused them to kill each other.
He was also affected, but not as deeply as Xu Chuan and the others. As for taking the action to kill... half of it was because he was influenced, and the other half was because the foundation for cooperation had been destroyed.
He was afraid of being betrayed, so he figured it was better to just kill the person directly.
The ghost bride noticed that someone was still alive, so she raised an eyebrow and lured one of the evil spirits away. She didn't touch the other ghosts, but since this evil spirit was one of the refugee soldiers at the time, she didn't care whether it would commit murder.
There was only one person left inside. Xie Ning, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, finally came to her senses from the shock. Seeing that Xie Li had already taken a few steps, she quickly followed. "Grandma, are you saying that there are disciples in Qing Shi Town who are cooperating with those three people?"
"So, how did Senior Fang lure the snake out of its hole? And who is that disciple...?"
"It's Mu Jin."
How was this confirmed?
"It's all thanks to your Aunt Fang's skills. She rose to that position with a crippled body, and it wasn't just because of her skill with the Soul-Making Umbrella."
It can be said that the entire Qing Shi Town is under her control, and people like them are good at calculations.
Observe people's appearances, observe events, and predict the future.
Mu Jin couldn't escape Aunt Fang's calculations. He thought he had made perfect plans, but in fact, he was already in someone else's trap from the very beginning.
Xie Ning and his companion followed the trail of the red rope and bells tied to the tree out of the trial grounds. They didn't see any other disciples along the way, since everyone had chosen a different path.
People going in different directions are unlikely to meet here.
Walking back to the thatched hut from the trial grounds, it was very quiet. Before even opening the fence gate, Xie Ning saw the horses lying on the ground. They had large holes in their bodies, especially in their bellies, as if they had been gnawed on.
Besides, there was a wooden figure lying on the ground dressed in willow branches. Although there was no blood on it, the back of its chest was broken.
